FastViewRND by Carl Harrison 1997
This program is FREEWARE, distribute it any way you like - but don't charge
more than the price of disk.
FastView2 has not been included, but the lastest version can be downloaded
from Aminet.
I now use FastView2 for viewing virtually all of my graphics collection.
FastView is FAST and can show complete directories of pictures. Kewl I
thought, but there were two things missing;-
1 It wouldn't show the pictures in a directory - randomly
2 No fancy wipes when changing screen.
So, armed with a copy of AMOS Professional V2, I proceeded to sort out one
of the above problems - showing random pictures from a directory - until
all of the pictures have been shown.
Providing FastView is in your C: directory, you may issue the following
command
FASTVIEWRND data:graphics/allpics/
The above command starts up FASTVIEWRND and tells it that the graphics
drawer is data:graphics/allpics/. It is very important that you do not
forgot to issue the forwardslash "/".
FASTVIEWRND then reads the complete directory (upto 500 files) - picks one,
and then runs FastView to view the picture. Click left mouse button to
continue and it will look like the program has stopped - don't be fooled -
this is a bug which I am going to sort out VERY soon. If you go to close
the window gadget - FASTVIEWRND starts back up, continuing to show the
rest of the pictures.
I imagine some people, if not most, will just dive in and not be able to
use the program. Well, that's what happens when you don't read docs ;)
